Our Mission, Vision, & Values

Our Mission

PPE Kids exists to prevent child sexual abuse by equipping churches, schools, families, and child-serving organizations with practical training, protective systems, and clear guidance—because every child deserves to be safe.

We believe prevention is possible when adults are informed, environments are strengthened, and children are surrounded by safe, accountable communities. Our work focuses on early intervention, education, and systems that reduce risk before harm occurs.

“Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless.” — Isaiah 1:17

Our Vision

We envision a world where:

Children are protected, believed, and valued
Adults understand how abuse occurs and how to interrupt it
Churches and organizations have strong, lived-out child protection practices
Silence, secrecy, and fear no longer protect offenders

Our vision is not reactive—it is preventative, rooted in truth, accountability, and care.

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves… defend the rights of the needy.” — Proverbs 31:8–9

Our Values:

1. Christ-Centered Responsibility

We are guided by biblical principles that call us to protect the vulnerable, pursue justice, and act with integrity. Our faith informs our mission and our methods.

“Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.” — Matthew 18:5

2. Child Safety Above All Else

Every decision we make centers on the safety and well-being of children—not reputations, institutions, or convenience.

“If anyone causes one of these little ones… to stumble, it would be better for them to have a millstone hung around their neck.” — Matthew 18:6

3. Prevention Over Reaction

We believe the greatest impact happens before abuse occurs. Education, awareness, and strong systems save children from lifelong harm.

“The prudent see danger and take refuge.” — Proverbs 22:3

4. Accountability with Compassion

We approach this work with clarity and courage—holding adults and systems accountable while responding to children and survivors with care and dignity.

“Speak the truth in love.” — Ephesians 4:15

5. Accessible Protection for All

Budgets should never prevent child safety. Our Pay-What-You-Can model ensures that small churches and organizations can access protection.

“Freely you have received; freely give.” — Matthew 10:8

6. Transparency & Integrity

We are committed to honesty, ethical practices, and clear communication in all we do—with families, churches, partners, and supporters.

“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely.” — Proverbs 10:9

7. Community & Shared Responsibility

Protecting children is not the responsibility of one person—it belongs to all of us. We work to build cultures where safe adults are trained, supported, and empowered.

“Carry each other’s burdens.” — Galatians 6:2

Why We Exist

Child sexual abuse most often occurs in trusted environments—homes, churches, schools, and community spaces. PPE Kids exists to help adults recognize risk, strengthen boundaries, and create environments where children are safe to speak and safe to grow.

We do this work because faith demands action, and children deserve more than good intentions—they deserve protection.

“Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” — Amos 5:24
